The American Theatre Wing's Theatre Intern Group will meet on Tuesday, September 20th at 6:30 PM, at Manhattan Theatre Club Studios (311 West 43rd Street, 8th Floor).
The topic for the evening will be "Owning and Operating a Broadway Theatre." This month's panelists will be Madeline Austin of the Shubert Organization, James A. Boese of the Nederlander Organization and Nicole Kastrinos of Jujamcyn Theaters. "The American Theatre Wing's Theatre Intern Group creates social and professional development opportunities for young people who work in theatrical offices; enabling them to build contacts with their peers immediately upon starting work in the theatrical community. Monthly panel discussions on the many facets of the theatrical field offer opportunities for the interns to learn from professionals with 5 to 10 years of experience – long enough to be immersed in the profession, but not so far removed from the experiences of the interns themselves," according to a press article.Membership is open to all interns working in a theatrical office and annual dues are $10.
